Restorative Justice
Volunteers are the backbone of this program. If you are interested in helping at-risk youth improve themselves and strive to make your community a safer place to live, this is the opportunity for you.
Your role will be as a participant on a Sentencing Circle. This is a process that replaces the formal court sentencing process. It allows volunteers like you to create a sentence while supporting the offender and the victim of crime.
To learn more about how to become a volunteer, please contact Amanda Radtke at Amanda.Radtke@co.carlton.mn.us or (218) 591- 0068.
